State laws related to the legalization and cultivation for 2020

In the state of California, you can legally grow up to 99 cannabis plants, given that you have an appropriate patient license. You can obtain it in almost any city of the state, but be sure to clarify the current information before contact a doctor. Since 2018, temporary state licenses have become available, which allowed certain categories of patients according to CUA California’s Proposition 215 to allocate up to 100 square feet for growing plants. In accordance with subparagraph 215, adult patients from California are allowed to cultivate up to 6 mature plants at the flowering stage. However, it is necessary to remember that exceeding the standard limit will be subject to legal sanctions. In turn, there are different practices regarding the legal regulation of cannabis cultivation in various districts. Thus, private cultivation of medical cannabis is forbidden in Fresno, as of April 2020. But even the limit of 6 plants is not enough for many patients who need an increased dose of the drug when it comes to alleviating the pathological condition significantly. In this case, the patient is entitled to obtain a recommendation for cannabis plants grow.

According to the state law, any patient participating in the medical cannabis program of California has the right to grow as much cannabis as necessary to alleviate the pathological condition or symptoms, when the limit of 6 plants is not enough. In this case, the doctor refers to the amendment known as “99 plant script”, according to which the patient has the right to cultivate over 6 allowed plants (but no more than 99 of them). Meanwhile, you’re allowed to grow only for personal use, and the sale of “excess” will be punished under federal law. Cultivation of more plants than allowed is classified as a criminal offense fraught with five years’ imprisonment. You also need to take into account the fact that a number of communes restrict or even forbid this legislative initiative. You can check the current status of the amendment of the script on the official website of the community concerned.

12 SIMPLE STEPS TO GROWING MEDICAL MARIJUANA AT HOME

After obtaining a license for the cultivation of medical cannabis under the program “99 plants”, you will have to walk a thorny path of learning the science of cannabis cultivation at home. Follow the algorithm below, and you will be able to gather a decent harvest of cannabis on the first try.

Choose the optimal cannabis strain, which is preferable for your purposes. Medical cannabis sorts are divided into 2 large categories. Cannabis sativa is a sort that has a stimulating effect, which is called “high”. Cannabis indica is a sort that has a soothing and analgesic effect, necessary for patients with chronic pain.

You should grow the seeds of the necessary cannabis sort, purchased at a specialty store, in a cup, using a wet sponge. Dip the seeds in water for a few hours, then gently put them on a damp, warm sponge and hide them in a dry, dark place.

Within 24 hours, the seeds will start to arise, after which you’ll be able to transplant them into a pot or cup. Plant the sprouting seeds in loose soil for citrus fruits. It is necessary to insert the grain into the soil with the spine down.

Choose a suitable pot (from 5 liters) and a convenient place for growing cannabis. Remember that the plant needs at least 10 hours of intense light, which is often lacking when cultivating in open ground. For the home “grow box”, use a 150W sodium lamp for growing from 4 plants. Planting in open ground, focus on the south side.

Control the temperature, which should be between 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. A few weeks after the seeds raise, you can add an organic fertilizer N-P-K. You shouldn’t use too much fertilizer.

Water the plant, but not too much. Make sure that the plants get enough moisture and fertilizer. As soon as the upper lays of the soil become dry – dispense water immediately, alternating it with fertilizer. Remember- better too little than too much.

Identify and dispose of male plants timely not to waste space for cultivation. They will not give any fruits anyway.

The average time of harvest is 8-16 weeks from the moment of planting seeds and depends on a specific sort. Sativa matures longer than indica, which should be taken into account when planning the harvest.

When the trichomes on a plant acquire a milky or amber color – it’s time to harvest. You can see the trichomes under a magnifying glass or using a х5 lens.

When the plants are ready for a cut, cut them at the base and hang them upside down for a week. Give the cones time to dry and mature.

Remove the leaves and branches, then cut the cones and pack them in a bag.

Use cones for smoking and vaping and as an ingredient for the edible forms of cannabis.

Conditions for patients

In accordance with U.S. law, every resident of the state aged 18 or more can become a member of the medical cannabis program in California. Minor patients can also participate in the program with the consent of a parent or guardian (if cannabis is prescribed by your doctor). As for growing cannabis, by default, patients and guardians have the right to cultivate up to 6 cannabis. However, according to the current amendment, a number of patients who need an increased dose of cannabis for a number of reasons can get the appropriate prescription from the doctor and legally grow up to 99 cannabis plants of any kind on their territory.

At the moment, such restrictions on the cultivation of cannabis are imposed by the local community regulations. You should clarify the right to grow cannabis plants on the official resources of the relevant communities. But in the communities where cannabis cultivation is perceived more loyally, the cultivation of medical cannabis for personal consumption is permitted only in a private closed territory. Meanwhile, a grower commits to provide the conditions for the safe cultivation process.

In accordance with the adopted amendment, California residents are exempted from criminal liability for storage and cultivation of medical cannabis. Nevertheless, this doesn’t include fines and other legal sanctions related to the violation of the law on driving a car and smoking in a public place. In the event of non-compliance with federal law, the consequences can be very depressing. Therefore, it is reasonable to obtain legal permission to store 99 plants in California through “Dr.Weedy” and grow weed at home or in the garden.

After obtaining the doctor’s permission for the cultivation of cannabis plants, you won’t break the state law, cultivating cannabis at home. At the same time, a lack of authorization can become a basis for federal prosecution.

Conditions for doctor

To have the right to license patients for MMIC, a practicing doctor must be a member of the program and have a qualification allowing to prescribe the medicinal cannabis to the patients with targeted pathologies.

The doctor participating in the medicinal cannabis program also has the right to permit patients to grow from 6 to 99 mature plants, referring to the respective amendment. In this, the doctor must justify the need to prescribe an increased dose of cannabis to the patient.
